I don't want to know the ending
You're afraid to see the start
I am into just pretrnding
You're exactly who you are
Kiss me like I am the last woman on earth
Like your very breath can't keep you from wanting me
just me
endlessly
Love me like I mean something to you
even if your heart is breaking
even if it isn't true
Sometimes I want the picture
to imagine what it means
not knowing all the feelings
It is nicer than it seems
Touch me like you can't stop
like my skin is made of glass
And you are starving for sunlight
You don't even have to ask
I know that I mean nothing
But, can't you just pretend
in this moment, in this hour
that I am precious in your hands
Kiss me like I am the last woman on earth
Like your very breath can't keep you from wanting me
just me
endlessly
It's a racecar on the speedway,
it's the last star in the sky
moving so damn quickly.
so exclusive by and by
Oh, I know it's just an essence
an idea
a design
nothing permanent or magic
just a glimpse in space and time
But, god, if it's not tragic
If I didn't want it all the same
to feel loved, to feel desired
to feel wanted and feel claimed
Now you're staring out the window
watching cars go by
seeking someone, someday, somewhere
that can give you the whole sky
not a flicker
not a sparkle
not a moment lost to time
not a memory
or a reverb
or a treacherous goodbye
Kiss me like you mean it
Like, I am the last woman on earth
Like your very breath can't keep you from wanting me
just me
Like you see all of my worth
Like you don't know I'm pretending
that my shadow holds you close
that this love is not a memory
and you're not living with a ghost
